Firstly, I can’t thank you all enough for coming out to the 1000 Islands Comedy Festival. It was superb coming back home and performing in front of so many great and friendly people. Thank you for the Gan Islanders shirt (totally not expected!) and again the pizza is in the freezer waiting for the homesickness to come.

Also, a quick shout out to Larry Miller who I had the opportunity to see in Richmond Hill last week. He was and still is one of the guys that I looked up to when I was starting out and to finally see him live was a brilliant achievement for me. Having drinks with him afterwards was just way more cool awesome. Thanks for the great night, Larry.

For my performance dates, simply go to the website and look at the ‘Upcoming Shows’ column on the left.
